What is James Hardie?
HardiePlank Siding was created by James Hardie in Melbourne Australia in 1887 and has been going strong ever since. HardiePlank is made from a combination of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers. It is not a wood-based product such as LP and most other products on the market. Because it is a Fiber Cement product, that comes with resistance to rain, hail, high winds, storms, snow, ice, harsh humidity, and temperature changes. Also, it is fire resistant and won’t contribute to a fire because it isn’t combustible. This product uses HardiePlank’s baked-on ColorPlus technology keeps colors locked in and vibrant longer.
This product is quite simply the best option for our environment, since it has also been around for so long you don’t have to worry about it being discontinued. Like these other wood-based/wood Composite products like LP Smartside, these wood products will be discontinued and disappear from the market about every 15 years. Another new wood-based product made of just OSB or Plywood will come out and the cycle repeats. 2 of the biggest names would be Masonite and LP Canexel which is the same product and company as LP Smartside.
